C:Dòmhnall Dòmhnallach
N:from Philippa "This one tells of the people
N: seeing the boat stuck , they were all excited – the biggest thing since the landing of Bonnie Prince Charlie and his
N: fleet. The men organised an expedition; they found all sorts of exoic and precious things from clothing and shoes and
N: piles of cutlery to tar and Lysol; they were drenched in Eau de Cologne. But amidst all the hullabaloo, the noise
N: from the vessel rose up even louder when they found the one thing they wanted most. A choice of ales, and the hard
N: stuff too. A lame old woman shouted, "Shut your mouth Dougal, you're always about the 'Haig'. You're a daft
N: clown. You're foaming at the mouth, you beast." But before it was all finished, she was drunk herself."
